Fillipino/Asian Scammers

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

If a stranger approach you and give an envelop that read 'Donation: Helping Poor Children'. Do everyone favor, tell them (her) to fuck off! Or an older man asking for help so he can get a bus ticket to Poipet or Phnom Penh to see his 'cousins/friends.'

Cheers

I sometimes see them (the women) on my way to and from work going place to place, but I never paid much attention. Up until today, one of them was on the Sok San road going store to store all the way down to my neighborhood. She passed an envelop while I was drinking the VN coffee with a friend, we politely said no...she walked away calling us cheap that we can not even afford to donate 100 riel.

Embarrassingly though, last week an old man in his 70s claiming he is Singaporean asked me for lunch money saying he hasn't eat in 4 days and bus ticket to Poipet, I gave all I got in my pocket which was around 5000 riel something. He managed to get another $6 out of me where I had to borrow a local mom n pop store owner, he tried to squeeze for more but when I sternly said NO, he biked away grinning. Early the next day, I learned he has been doing this all over town.

I'm surprised you'd fall for that, FC - you are too kind hearted if you borrow money to give to a beggar.
